ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF
NON -SIGNIFICANCE (DNS-M) = MITIGATED
Pursuant to WAC 197-11-600(4)(c) and WAC 197-11-625
Addendum to the Cogger Short and Fleuve de Voiles Plats
as Addended by the City of Renton (LUA09-052 and LUA09-016)
Determination of Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS=M)
Date of Addendum: July 23, 2012
Date of Original Issuance of SEPA Threshold Determination: November 9, 2006
Proponent: Charles Spaeth
Project Numbers: LUA09-052, ECF, PP
LUA09-016, SHPL-A
Project Names: Fleuve de Voiles Plat and Cogger Short Plat
Proposal /Purpose of Addendum: The applicant, Charles Spaeth, received approval fora 39-
lot plat (Fleuve de Voiles) from King County Department of Development and Enviromental
Services (KC DDES) for Environmental (SEPA) Review and a Preliminary Plat (KC DDES File No.
L04P0002). The 6.8 acre parcel is located within the City's Residential - 4 (R-4) dwelling units
per acre zoning classification; however, the project is vested to King County's R-6 zoning
development regulations.
In addition the same applicant received approval for an adjacent eight lot short plat, Cogger
or Plat, from KC DDES (LOSS0040)I The Cogger Short Plat is also located within the City's R 4
zoning classification; however, it is also vested to King County's R-6 zoning development
regulations. The Cogger Short plat's access is dependent on the Fleuve de Voiles plat
improvements and could not be developed without the public and private infrastructure of the
larger plat. As a result, KC DDES combined the two applications into one "development" for the
purposes of SEPA review.
The proposed plat of Fleuve de Voiles has as its sole access a new improvement of the SE 192"d
Stand 124th Ave SE intersection. As part of DNS-M, dated November 9, 2006, a mitigation
measure was issued, for the "development" requiring the applicant to construct a traffic signal
system at this intersection. The mitigation measure currently reads:

1. In order to mitigate the significant adverse impact 114.80.03011 and 14.80.0308) that the
proposed development will have at the intersection of SE 192nd St/1241h Ave SE, the
applicant will construct a traffic signal system at this intersection. This signalization
system will be in general conformance with the conceptual signalization submitted
KCDOT on November 8, 2006. This signalization system will be in general conformance
with the conceptual signalization exchanged between the Department of Transportation
and the Applicant's consultant engineer on/about October 2, 2006, and include all
related signalization system appurtenance's necessary for the identified signal operation
(including a protected/permitted phasing for the westbound left turn), and an advance
warning flasher system located to the west of the intersection. These improvements
shall be designed to minimize future reconstruction if/when the deferred/cancelled CIP
constructed.
Since the time of the two plat approvals, in 2004 and 2005, the intersection annexed into the
City of Kent. The Kent Transportation Division has informed the City of Renton that mitigation,
in the form of a traffic signal, is not warranted at this intersection based on the significant
adverse impacts described in SEPA determination and is ultimately not desired. Appropriate
mitigation would include improvements to the north side of 192"d Ave SE to the City of Kent
standards, with a stop sign only.
It has been determined that the environmental impacts of the proposal were adequately
addressed under the analysis of significant impacts contained within the previously adopted
DNS-M. However, the mitigation prescribed by KC DDES was not appropriate for addressing the
impacts. Based on WAC 197-11-600(4) c, the addendum process may be used if analysis or
information is added that does not substantially change the analysis of significant impacts and
alternatives in the existing environmental document.
The determination by the City of Kent will not change the analysis or impacts in the 1995 State
Environmental P011cy Act (SEPA) Review. However, this addendum will modify the single
mitigation measure of the DNS-M issued on November 9, 2006 to eliminate the requirement for
a traffic signal at the intersection of SE 192"d St and 124th Ave SE and will read:
1. In order to mitigate the significant adverse impact (14.80.030A and 14.80.0308) that the
proposed development will have at the intersection of SE 192"d St/124tl' Ave SE, the
applicant will construct improvements to the north side of 192"d Ave SE to the City of
Kent standards, with the inclusion of a stop sign.
The City of Renton is hereby issuing a SEPA Addendum pursuant to WAC 197-11-600.
This Addendum is appropriate because it contains only minor information not included in the
original Determination and there no environmental impacts related to inclusion of the new
information.
